Large Prints?

Postby Amsterdam on Wed Feb 06, 2008 11:09 pm

Where can I have large prints ordered? Like 60x40cm or so.

I've only found Ted's printing service so far and some specialized companies but they seem quite expensive: 30x45 for $19.95

I've moved here from Europe 4 months ago. Back there I'd have a choice of on-line printing stores for very good prices.
More like a 30x45 for $7.00
I'm guessing it has something to do with the mega-huge photolab in Germany that seems to process all prints for all of Europe but is there really nothing better than this?

Thanks!

Hi, and welcome.

To what I'm aware of, if you need quality and size, there isn't much cheap things here in Sydney. Or that I am aware of anyway. Things here are quite expensive because demand is not as much as in Europe which they can accommodate with quantity. :(

Hi,

Try http://www.digitalworks.net.au, there in Melbourne but the turn around is over night with on-line orders.
I have used them and founs the quality and service to be fantastic.

Cheers

Personally I think that all of the prices quoted are quite reasonable. I print out to A3 size myself and when you think about the cost of paper and ink...............
